Ezekiel was also commanded to eat God's word Ezekiel 3:1-3 Moreover He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” 2 So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that scroll. 3 And He said to…

Abouna Bishoy El-Antony told about a story like this. Before he became a monk one of his coworkers told him about a chair that would move across the room by itself, so he went and took a look at it. He then took some water prayed over it, "sprayed" …

The truth is some people get alienated from the Church and Protestanism is an easy place to turn to. Projecting our faith as better doesn't really solve the problem The thing is our faith is True (with a capital T). Its not a matter that our faith …

[quote author=pharoh123 link=topic=10823.msg131654#msg131654 date=1298739158] So let's completely disregard the Christian or not part of this because I'm sure many people here know more than me about this subject. I just want to answer this thread a…

However, something that makes me very sad is the inaccessibility and relative ignorance and lack of knowledge of the Orthodox church (specifically in the west). Most have never heard of it and see it as the protestants and catholics competing, and …

Guys if we can please discuss this calmly in a Christian manner, that would be great. I benefit alot from this site, but I lose that if it just becomes arguments and yelling. (This hasn't happened but I feel some tension). :) Thanks Please pray …

What is wrong with Sunday School? I do not see anything in borrowing an idea from the Protestants and making it Orthodox. St. Basil spoke about the right use of Greek literature, and wrote to young men about the correct use of it (it was often pagan…

Seeking the Salvation of others St. Ignatius of Antioch (from Chapter 10 of his letter to the Ephesians) And pray ye without ceasing in behalf of other men. For there is in them hope of repentance that they may attain to God. See, then, that they b…

I found this on the page: Anba Ermia is a bishop that the popes right hand . He is a part of the priests judge committee . A church in Egypt wants him to go to the monastery because he disapproved of their priest because he was preaching in a unort…

This youtube channel seems to have animated bible stories: http://www.youtube.com/user/joe40Xcel#g/u Watch them before you put them on in class though. I've seen some pretty weird things in Bible animations. I do remember watching some of those whe…

I know that there have been attempts at talking with the monks of Mt. Athos. Read the second page of this document: http://soc-wus.org/patriarchate/Statement%202004.pdf I think that there are good and bad aspects of this being taken so slowly. Firs…

I don't know about Bible stories so hopefully someone else can help with that. I do though have a recommendation for something that little kids will like. There is a Coptic Cartoon on the sacraments that is made for little kids called Holy Pimoly.…

A quote from His Holiness: "Repentance makes virgins out of adulterers" By searching repentance from amongst the Church Fathers I found this recurring theme. I would copy all those quotes here but they basically say what His Holiness says. We see t…

Is it the second one on this page: http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Songs/Arabic/Orthodoxies.html Please Pray for me

Hey Ioannes, Obviously nothing will work unless God blesses. However, we must do what we can and then God will do his portion. In other words, though it is God who ultimately brings people to Him, we can be tools and allow him to do this through us…

hey eveyone, I don't think there is any need to take an aggressive tone here. I am convinced that if we are able to discuss this peacefully with Rubina maana she will come to understand what we are saying. This doesn't mean we can' be firm, but fro…

The only advice I'm qualified to give is that you should go to your local Orthodox Church and talk with the Priest there. He'll be able to take you through the process. Hopefully someone here can give more in depth advice, though. Please pray fo…

Perhaps after your exams you can pm me or post here and we can sort out any difficulties with my last post. Also see my post in the other thread where this subject is being discussed (about prayer meetings). Pleas pray for me as I am facing temptat…

Rubina, Do they accept the Sacrament of Priesthood? How about those of Marriage, Chrismation, Confession, Anointing of the Sick? Do they accept Holy Tradition? Do they accept the intercessions of Saints? Do they consider the Theotokos, an ever virg…

Dearest to Christ Rubina Maana, In the hymns of the Church, the agpeya and in all of the Psalms when we pray them it is not monotone! No, not at all. Why do we sing hymns. Because we are taking these words, and we make them our own. What I mean by …

hey CopticBoy777 and Rabina maana, I'm sorry if we seem that we are judging anybody. We are not judging any person. I pray that I haven't judged anyone. I promise that you will not find a single Protestant that is more sinful than me. If I were to …

Sorry to resurrect this thread but a quote by St. John Chrysostom applies very well here: For those things which I have already mentioned might easily be performed by many even of those who are under authority, women as well as men; but when one is …

According to Crum's Coptic Dictionary the coptic word for lion is B E L TH Omega N or (M Omega O Epsilon Iota) (Sorry I had to write out the words for certain letters as they have more than one corresponding English letter)

Something we learn from the Church Fathers is that there is room for different views when interpeting scriptures (unless it affects dogma or theology). For example St. Cyril and St John Chrysostom have different views on certain passages (Sorry i ca…

Remenkimi, I think you may be misunderstanding it (I'm guessing you think it is one of the councils considered by the Eastern Orthodox as Ecumenical). The council of Laodicea isn't ecumenical (The council of Laodicea isn't considered Ecumenical by …

H.H. Pope Shenouda is one of the most loving and forgiving people I know of. To put thing s in perspective Mubarak allowed protests against H.H. to be carried out where there were inults against him and burnings of his picture etc. Now that this s…

Ioannes, what were the flaws you found? If its uploading books you can email them to us (I can pm you my email or the official email.) I know the way we have set up isn't the best, but it is necessary because of copyrights and so we can review that…
